What is a salisbury axle? Is it an after maket bit or something that comes with your land rover and if so, how do you tell you have one?

I think military 109s also had them on the front?  Or was that the 110 Wolfs?

Salisbury made axles for all sorts of vehicles.  Land Rover fitted variants of them to the larger / heavier duty vehicles such as the Series 3 109, 101, etc.

They are generally very strong and last well, but are heavy and harder to fix than the Rover equivalent.

As in Paul's picture, the Salisbiry axles will have a removable pan on the back of the axle.

Not easily... a normal 109 will have a 4.7:1 diff.   If you can find one, the Series 3 Stage 1 V8 has a 3.54:1 Salisbury on the rear, which matches a Range Rover diff you could stick in the front.... but Stage 1 axles are few and far between.

Just to follow that up...  you'd need to find a replacement crownwheel and pinion to fit your existing axle to change the one you have.   And it's not a fun job.

No, the one ton series III and some specials (eg TACR) had salisbury fronts but it was not a standard fit on military vehicles.
The wolf, oddly, uses rover diffs front and back, even on 110s so far as I have seen.

The Wolf does indeed use a Rover type.  It's the same as was used on the P38 and Disco 2

Ah, so thats what they are...I thought it looked a bit odd when I looked under a 110 wolf, that explains it then, I assumed it was to do with comptability (eg one axle for all models)

Yep... provided you have 10 spline RR diffs.

Just make sure you have either oil filler holes on the axles, or oil filler holes on the diffs.... else you can't get the oil in ;-)
